I uploaded our spellchecker package to the file storage, untar/zip the archive in the packages dir. of your oacs inst..
After installing and mounting the package, go to the package url and read the documentation (instalation of aspell and nsaspell). Their is a documentation of the nsaspell functions and the spellchecker functions as well.

In addition I put a litle java script into the doc  dir. of the package wich you may include in the  header of your master template.

And a patch for the forums package (to let it use  the spellchecker ) , the patch is made with an older version of the forums package it may not work properly with newer ones.

The spellchecker skips html tags (including &code;) and numbers automaticly.

It is using a select box , to let the user chose a language (from all available) including None.

It is not implemented into the form builder jet, if you want the text from a text area be spellchecked , you would have to add a extra select box (to select a language) to the form  , and then pass the text and the language to the spellchecker proc.
